You can enable synchronization of DNS reporting data from the Microsoft server and view both NIOS and Microsoft services data in a single view in the supported DNS reports. This feature is enabled by default when you add a Microsoft server to the Grid. This feature is supported for Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 and Microsoft Windows 2016 versions, and you must disable this feature for all previous versions of Microsoft Windows servers. When you upgrade the Grid to NIOS 8.2 or later, this feature is disabled. For information about how to enable synchronization of DNS reporting data, see Setting Grid Properties for Managing Microsoft Servers.

When you enable the synchronization of DNS reporting data, the appliance performs the reporting data synchronization from the Microsoft server based on the specified time interval. The default synchronization interval is 15 seconds. You can change the synchronization interval using the CLI command set ms_dns_reports_sync_interval. For information, refer to the Infoblox CLI Guide. Note that the The collection of reporting data is dependent on the synchronization intervals set for the Microsoft server. Hence, there would be differences in the Microsoft services data updated in the reports as compared to the NIOS reporting data. Note that only events that are logged in the Microsoft event log are displayed in the Microsoft DNS reports. For a list of DNS reports that display data from both NIOS and the Microsoft server when this feature is enabled, see Reports with Data Synchronized from Microsoft Servers.
